SIMATIC S7-400 advanced controller (PLC)

SIMATIC S7-400

Powerful modular Siemens controller for plant and process automation with standard, fail-safe (F) and fault-tolerant (H) CPUs; Siemens announced the phase-out of the standard, F and H CPUs on 1 October 2026 (type cancellation planned for 1 January 2027 for F and 1 October 2027 for standard and H), while the CPU 410-5H for PCS 7 stays active and the recommended replacements are the CPU 410 and S7-1500

Price and delivery time are given after a technical review.

Production status: Phase-out

Recorded as phase-out. Siemens' product note 110005434 (entry date 1 October 2026, read on 2 November 2026) sets the phase-out announcement (P.M400) for selected S7-400 components on 1 October 2026 and plans type cancellation (P.M410) for the F CPUs on 1 January 2027 and for the standard and H CPUs on 1 October 2027; after that they are supplied only as spare parts and for repair, not for new systems or major expansions. Under its standard policy Siemens keeps spare parts available for 10 years after the announcement, without guaranteeing it for every component; its S7-400 page speaks of availability beyond 2035. On SiePortal (2 November 2026) these codes show "Phase Out Announce": 6ES7412-2EK07-0AB0, 6ES7414-3EM07-0AB0, 6ES7416-3ES07-0AB0 and 6ES7417-4XT07-0AB0 (standard, 1 October 2027), 6ES7414-3FM07-0AB0 and 6ES7416-3FS07-0AB0 (F, 1 January 2027), and 6ES7412-5HK06-0AB0, 6ES7414-5HM06-0AB0, 6ES7416-5HS06-0AB0 and 6ES7417-5HT06-0AB0 (H, 1 October 2027). Not affected: the CPU 410-5H code 6ES7410-5HX08-0AB0 ("Active Product", not on the list) and, among modules, 6ES7407-0KA02-0AA0 (PS 407, 10 A) and 6ES7400-1JA11-0AA0 (UR2 rack), both "Active Product"; 6ES7421-1BL01-0AA0 (SM 421, 32 DI) shows "Prod. Cancellation". Siemens names the CPU 410 (for PCS 7 and process automation) and S7-1500 as functional replacements. Ask for the status of each code before buying.

Overview

Overview

SIMATIC S7-400 is Siemens' modular controller for standard and fail-safe automation in the manufacturing and process industries. Siemens' page presents it as a long-term investment with a consistent supply of spare parts and availability beyond 2035, and says the S7-400 and the innovated S7-410 product line will stay the hardware backbone of the PCS 7 control system. The S7-400H and FH systems are used where high security and availability and data-intensive tasks are needed.

CPU classes

  • Standard V7 CPUs: 412-1, 412-2, 414-2, 414-3, 416-2, 416-3, 417-4 and the PN versions such as 412-2 PN, 414-3 PN/DP and 416-3 PN/DP.
  • Fail-safe (F) CPUs: 414F-3 PN/DP, 416F-2 and 416F-3 PN/DP.
  • H CPUs: 412-5H, 414-5H, 416-5H and 417-5H (firmware V6.0) and the CPU 410-5H (firmware V8.3, for PCS 7), which have two synchronization interfaces for a redundant system.

Work memory ranges from 1 MB (CPU 412-2 PN) to 32 MB (CPU 417-4 and 417-5H), and the bit instruction time from 31.25 ns to 7.5 ns. The CPU 416-3 PN/DP, for example, has 16 MB (8 MB code and 8 MB data), an MPI/PROFIBUS DP interface, a two-port PROFINET interface and a PROFIBUS DP interface on an IF 964-DP module.

Lifecycle status

Siemens' product note 110005434 (entry date 1 October 2026) sets the P.M400 milestone, the announcement of phase-out, for selected S7-400 components on 1 October 2026. Type cancellation (P.M410) is staggered: 1 January 2027 for the fail-safe (F) CPUs and 1 October 2027 for the standard and H CPUs; the CP 443-1 communication processors and the S7 memory cards are on the same list. Until P.M410 the components are still supplied as new parts; after it only as spare parts or for repair, in quantities customary for spare parts and not for new plants or major expansions. Siemens says that under its standard policy spare parts stay available for 10 years after the phase-out announcement and that final discontinuation (P.M490) is not planned before that, although because of the component market it cannot guarantee this for every assembly; its S7-400 page speaks of availability beyond 2035.

Siemens names the CPU 410 (especially for process automation and PCS 7) and the S7-1500 as functional replacements and prefers the S7-1500 with TIA Portal for new and migration projects. The CPU 410-5H is not on the phase-out list and shows "Active Product" on SiePortal. Among the system modules, a PS 407 power supply (10 A) and a UR2 rack showed "Active Product", while an SM 421 module with 32 digital inputs shows "Prod. Cancellation", so the status of each code has to be checked separately.

Security

Security advisory SSA-892915 (December 2023) says that for the V7 PN/DP CPUs (412-2 PN, 414-3 PN/DP, 414F-3 PN/DP, 416-3 PN/DP and 416F-3 PN/DP) currently no fix is planned, and recommends disabling the web server or restricting it to trusted users.

Engineering

According to the data sheets the V7 PN/DP CPUs are configured with STEP 7 V5.5 or higher with HSP 262, the CPU 417-4 with STEP 7 V5.4 or higher with HSP 261, the 41x-5H CPUs with STEP 7 V5.5 SP2 with HF1, and the CPU 410-5H with SIMATIC PCS 7 V10.0.1 or higher.

Features

  • Modular build with a central rack and expansion racks (up to 21 expansion units on the CPU 416-3 PN/DP)
  • Work memory from 1 MB to 32 MB
  • Bit instruction time from 31.25 ns to 7.5 ns
  • PN/DP CPUs with a two-port PROFINET interface and PROFIBUS DP
  • Fail-safe F CPUs such as the 414F-3 PN/DP and 416F-3 PN/DP
  • H CPUs (412-5H to 417-5H and 410-5H) with two synchronization interfaces for a redundant system
  • Multicomputing with up to 4 CPUs in a UR1 or UR2 rack

Advantages

  • The hardware backbone of PCS 7 (with the S7-410 line); Siemens says it will keep that role and speaks of availability beyond 2035
  • High availability in H systems and safety in F/FH systems
  • Large memory and expansion racks for big plants
  • Replacements named by Siemens: the CPU 410 (especially for PCS 7) and S7-1500 with TIA Portal; spare parts for 10 years after the phase-out announcement

Frequently asked questions

Has the S7-400 been discontinued?

Partly. On 1 October 2026 Siemens set the phase-out announcement (P.M400) for the standard, F and H CPUs, the CP 443-1 communication processors and the memory cards. Type cancellation (P.M410) is planned for 1 January 2027 for the F CPUs and for 1 October 2027 for the standard and H CPUs; until then they are still supplied as new parts, and afterwards only as spare parts and for repair. The CPU 410-5H is not on this list, and system modules have their own statuses. Before buying, check the exact status of the code on SiePortal or with a Siemens representative.

What replaces S7-400 CPUs?

Siemens names the CPU 410 (especially for process automation) and the S7-1500 as functional replacements and prefers the S7-1500 with TIA Portal for new and migration projects. According to its table, S7-400 in STEP 7 V5.x goes to a 15xx CPU in TIA Portal (preferred), a CPU 410 in PCS 7/PCS neo or a CPU 410 in STEP 7 (special sales release required); S7-400 in PCS 7/PCS neo goes to the CPU 410 and S7-400 in TIA Portal to S7-15xx. An older Siemens migration guide (09/2015) also mapped the standard and F CPUs to S7-1500 CPUs, for example the CPU 414-3 PN/DP to the CPU 1518-4 PN/DP (the code of that time); that guide was not valid for S7-400 with PCS 7 and did not cover H systems.

What is the difference between the standard, F and H CPUs?

Standard CPUs (such as the 414-3 PN/DP) are for ordinary control. F CPUs (such as the 416F-3 PN/DP) are for safety applications. H CPUs (412-5H to 417-5H and 410-5H) have two synchronization interfaces and work as a redundant pair in S7-400H systems for high availability; FH systems combine both features.

Which interfaces does the CPU 416-3 PN/DP have?

According to the data sheet: one MPI/PROFIBUS DP interface at 12 Mbit/s, one PROFINET interface with two ports, and one PROFIBUS DP interface on an IF 964-DP module. Work memory is 16 MB and the memory card takes up to 64 MB.

What software is needed for the S7-400?

STEP 7 V5.5 or higher (V7 PN/DP CPUs with HSP 262), or SIMATIC PCS 7 for the CPU 410-5H. TIA Portal support is not mentioned in the data sheets that were reviewed; if needed, check the release notes of TIA Portal.
